Despite withdrawing from this year’s contest, Serbia hasn’t completely given up on Eurovision. On February 4th Eurovision 2012 winner Loreen took to the stage of X Factor Adria and performed her two greatest hits “My heart is refusing me” and “Euphoria”.
Her heart may be refusing her, but the song wasn’t refused by her fans in the Balkans. One of the contestants, Lukijan Ivanovic from Bosnia, performed her song earlier this season. If only Loreen had been there to hear him!
Speaking to the press she said that she and Zeljko Joksimovic, who is a judge in the show, are planning a duet. Zeljko’s voice and Loreen’s mysterious appearance in one act? We can’t wait!

Wow, great combination for a duet! Please happen 😀
Yeah, they are two totally different voices and generally speaking have different song styles, but Zeljko has recently done a very, very good dance song in “Ludak Kao Ja” – see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVmIAwSrT78 . He also uploaded an equally wonderful acoustic version here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tjfr3in-1Q
In any case I’m sure they can make something nice 🙂
Flawless performances and still such an unique vocalist … one that does not need to promise a suicide to showcase her human solidarity. The duet with Zeljko sounds something odd to be quite honest as I don’t see their musical universes trying to come together … nonetheless let’s see what will come out of this.
Loreen and Zeljko for a duet sounds incredible. I can’t wait.
@Marcus: it’s “Emmelie”
*emmilie
hey don’t give me that I never bothered to learn her name
That’s the good thing with loreen she doesn’t use playback like some Eurovision winners cough* Emilie de forest cough*
Great performance loreen. 2 years later and euphoria is still fresh and 3 years later my heart is refusing me is still catchy
